Wheel Directory: Enkei Kojin 17x8 +45
Just got these in with a set of contiextremecontact dws 215-45-17. Need to get it dropped some time soon but they're pretty nice and have a slight concave face. Last edited by DarrenDriven; 03-17-2014 at 12:47 PM. |

Better pics, pretty please, with sugar on top.
Did you weigh a rim before mounting ? The claim is they're under 20lbs at that size, and around 24-25lbs at 18 inches. I think there is too much of an increase from one size to the next. Those 17s must be heavier than twenty. |

updated with a couple more pics. 2 uploaded sideways... but yea there's plenty of room between the wheel and the rotor. I ordered them from tirerack with the tires and tpms already mounted but they say 19.25 pounds. I'd say that's about right as they felt a little bit lighter than the stock wheels/tires

Setting up Enkei Koijin BRZ fitment/ Review FONT MOTORSPORTS
Currently waiting on a order in on a 2013 Subaru BRZ Limited in Satin White Pearl from Capitol Subaru in San Jose, California. I actually made a pre-order last year in 2012, March 1st for the same car at the same dealership but had a family emergency eight days before and had to make a decision to put my family first. Anyways,
This is my first post back and recently have acquired a set of ENKEI KOIJIN from FONT MOTORSPORTS in Matte silver with the following specs for a friend's Subaru wagon as well as trying on my future car that I'm waiting on. This post is a review on the wheels along with the great customer service and the smooth process that was involved with dealing with this company. 17X8 5x100 +45 offset DETAILED PICS WILL BE UP SOON AS I'M ON A WORK COMPUTER WITHOUT MY DSLR, along with waiting for the friend to get off vacation from Hawaii to pick up the wheels and mount. |
